MD's weigh in please... is the medical version worth it? Anyone have observations about this?

I use to use Dragon 8 Medical, then upgraded to Dragon 9 preferred, and with a little training, then upgrade to Dragon 9.5, it handles my medical terminology well. Not worth the additional $1000 to get the Dragon 9.5 Medical.

I have no idea how to adjust it but, honestly, I never assume that doctor's scales are correct. Any scale I've ever had at home has been different than when I go to the doctor.

Overall I'd say they are pretty close in accuracy, but something to consider is the general size of the patients wrist and upper arm. I have a lot of patients that for one reason or another fall into the obese category and sometimes the wrist cuff won't fit right{of course with some the arm cuff won't fit either!} that being said if you want the best accuracy go with the manual cuff and stethoscope its not the fastest method but unless you having hearing issues it will give you the best readings. I hope I've been able to help you with this.

Yes I have been on herbalife for about 3 months now and when I started I was 202lbs and now I'm 170 but my scale is 10lbs + off compared to the scale that my coach uses an it stays I'm 188 and have been for about 3 weeks an it's incorrect. I do know there is a dial if you have to set to zero every now and then but it still is incorrect

It doesn't bother me, but maybe I am used to it now. It's a nice weight, but nothing that seems to "weigh" me down! Enjoy

Hello Kim. All exercise programs suggest that you consult with a physician first; I didn't listen and hurt my neck. Not the programs fault, I should have known better. You'd also want to know if your ticker could handle it. For a healthy person, overweight or not, I see this program as being fun. As with everything, moderation until you get used to the program. But again, check with your doctor first.

Hello: Not everything works for all people the same. It didn't seem to work for me but that could be due to other factors. I wasn't looking for a quick fix to my weight problem but I was looking for a quick start and didn't get it. There are warnings popping up about the main ingredient and I would advise researching that before spending any money. Sorry, Dick Urban

We have had good luck using the hold feature. We have checked it several times in a row and it always reads the same weight. Also very comparable weighs to the hospital scales

Hello,I've been very happy with my Digital Postal scale. The technical specs say that capacity is 0.1 oz --> 3 lbs. And the weight increments are .05 oz. So if I put a single index card on the machine, it shows a weight of 00.10. When I put an empty envelope on it, it shows .20. So it does weigh very light items. It seems to be very comparable to the US postal scale, too. I use the scale often and it has performed well for me. Hope this helps. :)

I have this model and I'd say it's less than a pound, so theoretically it's not that heavy. Of course the longer you use it the heavier it feels since your arm gets tired, but that's a separate issue...goodluck

Thanks again John, you have been very helpful! After a lot of research (mine and yours), I have realized that my (US) scale will probably never display metric. Thus, I have just returned it and will order the HBF-500. Thanks again for your help.

Honestly I did not hear a disease amount on Dr. Oz. I did watch the show but, I will definitely look for another brand with a much higher mg! Thanks for the question.... I will benefit from a higher mg I'm sure.

Not certain what your concern is. I have this scale and love it. I don't understand the concern. I have stents and they don't interfere with any electronic devices. The scale works perfectly and is very accurate and repeatable (i.e. repeated weighing returns the same weight) The scale is only half the story. Withings provides a website and app to show your history and trends. It is great. The scale won't guarantee you lose weight but it will definitely make you aware (and feel guilty) if you're not. I like the trending tools even better than the scale....and I love it.

I find it to be very accurate. It also has a small knob underneath that you can adjust if it goes up or down a little. But it was the same as the scale at the doctor's office last week. So it's good enough for me!

It takes a while. I do not weigh myself but after a month and half I am seeing definition. Check out the Keytones on Doctor Oz.com. He has a good video on the subject. Hope this helps...and oh yeah...just ordered more.

I've been using mine for about two months and it's the 8 pound one. My body has gotten used to the size way too quickly so that challenge isn't there any more. With other brands making other sizes, and valeo only making the same, you have the choice to give your body more challenges by buying larger sizes. Hope that made sense

I've used mine, as well as the same one owned by a friend and I always have this issue as well. Even when I'm down to my lowest weight and have a six-pack and veins popping out on my arms, and legs with a BMI right in the middle of normal range, and after a trainer used calipers and measured me at 6-7% the body fat percentage on this scale has never dipped below 20 percent. At a heavier point (winter weight haha) I've switched immediately from a handheld that measured 11% to this one which gave >23%. Makes no sense.
